List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Confirm sound design specifications | 1.1 Consult relevant people to confirm sound design specifications meet production requirements 1.2 Identify and confirm people needed to meet production requirements 1.3 Confirm content, quality and duration of sound components 1.4 Research copyright requirements to confirm sound design will comply with legislation 1.5 Liaise with relevant people to consider and incorporate additional or changed production requirements and new ideas as required |
2. Implement sound design | 2.1 Devise or obtain sound components to meet sound design specifications 2.2 Record sound effects as required 2.3 Manipulate sound components to achieve desired sonic finish and style 2.4 Identify changes required, seek feedback from relevant people about work in progress, and modify as required 2.5 Direct, advise and assist technical staff as required 2.6 Save master copy of sound design recording in required format for playback media 2.7 Make backup copies of sound design recording in line with production requirements and organisational procedures |
3. Finalise operations | 3.1 Prepare and update production documentation as required 3.2 Label, log and store recorded masters, version copies and backups according to production requirements and organisational procedures 3.3 Evaluate implementation of sound design specifications in consultation with relevant personnel 3.4 Evaluate own performance, and note areas for improvement 3.5 Provide feedback to team members on their performance as required 3.6 Document evaluation outcomes according to organisational procedures |
Evidence of the ability to:
implement sound designs that creatively and technically meet sound design specifications
work creatively and collaboratively with others on implementing sound designs
use a range of industry current sound recording, production and playback equipment in line with production requirements and industry standards.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe the production requirements that may impact decisions about sound designs
explain the copyright requirements that relate to sound design
explain the operational principles for available sound recording, production and playback equipment
explain the importance of each of the following to sound recording:
characteristics of sound in different recording and performance environments
availability of recording equipment and recording media
styles of musical interpretation
explain the basic principles of acoustics in relation to sound recording
describe the main techniques for evaluating the implementation of a sound design specification
explain the issues and challenges that typically arise when implementing sound designs, and how to address them.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
sound recording, production and playback equipment
productions where sound designs are implemented
production documentation.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
